Professor Grayson's Favorite sin Chapter 78: Jealous.
Chapter 78Damien knew before Lennon left the building.He was grading papers at his desk when Lennon said he was heading out and named a reason that was technically a complete sentence and contained no verifiable falsehood and landed in the room with the specific weight of things that are carefully constructed. Damien looked up at him. Lennon met his eyes, the three seconds of that were not comfortable for either of them, though only one of them showed it."Okay," Damien said.Lennon left.He did not know the specifics, not the name, not the location, not the fact that it was coffee with the girl from the lit class who had already texted twice. He knew the shape of it. He had learned to read Lennon the way you learned to read weather, not by studying it consciously but by exposure, by repetition, by the accumulation of details too small to name individually but too consistent to ignore.Lennon's shoulders were a specific kind of tight. His responses in the session had been a specif
Professor Grayson's Favorite sin Chapter 77: Saturday At 2.
Lennon texted Mia back on a Tuesday morning while Damien was in the shower.He had been holding the phone for six minutes before he did it. He had read her message twice the night before and once more when he woke up, and he had spent the space between readings doing the same calculation he always did when his father was a variable, which was to say, running the numbers on what visible normalcy was worth versus what it cost.His father had been quiet for four days since the campus visit. That was not reassurance, that was accumulation.He typed, “Hey. Sure, coffee sounds good. This week?”He read it once more. He sent it before he could change his mind and put the phone face-down on the nightstand.The shower was still running. He listened to it and felt the guilt settle in, specific and unpleasant, like a stone he had placed in his own pocket and was now deciding to carry. The water cut off, he heard Damien moving around in the bathroom, the particular domestic sounds of a man who mo
Professor Grayson's Favorite sin Chapter 76: No
The email had been sent at four fifty-three PM from an address that resolved to nothing, a string of randomized characters at a domain that Roman's people would take approximately forty minutes to trace back to a burner account purchased with cash at a store in New Jersey two weeks ago.Damien knew this because Roman told him twelve minutes after the email arrived, while Lennon was still sitting in the office chair reading the message for the third time.The photos referenced were not specified. That was deliberate, the ambiguity was the point, a way of making the recipient's imagination do the work. But Lennon could think of at least four separate moments over the last two months that, if captured, would be sufficient. The corridor outside the faculty lounge where Damien had pushed him against the wall one evening and kissed him. His father's PI had been on campus for weeks. The math was not complicated."We need to know what they actually have," Roman said, from the doorway. "Befor
Professor Grayson's Favorite sin Chapter 75: Creative Interpretation
Archer had hacked the camera feed using a laptop, a coffee shop's open Wi-Fi, and what he described as “intuition and personal charisma,” which Lennon chose not to examine too closely.The footage was grainy and shot at an angle that caught the east service road from above the campus security system, which Archer had accessed through what he called a “creative interpretation” of publicly available network infrastructure. He had the relevant clip pulled up and paused on a still that showed the shooter's vehicle pulling away from the service road at speed.Roman took the laptop from him. He watched the clip twice. He set the laptop on the desk and looked at Archer with the expression he had been deploying on Archer recently, which was not quite assessment and not quite something else and occupied an uncomfortable middle ground that Archer appeared to find extremely encouraging."You accessed the campus security network," Roman said."I accessed a network that the campus security system
Professor Grayson's Favorite sin Chapter 74: Officially.
Richard Kessler walked into the English building at four-seventeen PM like he owned it.He had two aides with him and the particular bearing of a man who had never once in his adult life waited for anything to be offered before taking it. He spoke to the department secretary for approximately ninety seconds, during which time the secretary looked progressively less comfortable, and then he was in the hallway, moving toward the stairs, with campus security trailing behind him at a distance that suggested they were escorting him without having been entirely sure they could stop him.Lennon met him at the bottom of the second-floor landing.He had had seven minutes to prepare for this. He had spent four of them listening to Damien tell him what to say and three of them deciding which parts of that he could actually deliver with a straight face. His arm still had traces of Damien's blood on the inside of the sleeve where the fabric had pressed against the wound. He had turned the cuff ba
Professor Grayson's Favorite sin Chapter 73: I Heard You
The graze was two inches long and not deep.Lennon found this out by pulling Damien's sleeve up with hands that were not entirely steady and looking at it himself because Damien had said “I'm fine’ in a tone that did not constitute medical information. The skin was torn and bleeding freely but the bone was intact, and the wound was clean at the edges. Lennon had taken a first aid course his sophomore year because Archer had dared him to and had promptly forgotten most of it, but he remembered enough to know that this was not the bad version of what a gunshot wound looked like.He pressed the folded sleeve of his own hoodie against it anyway and held it there."I said I'm fine," Damien said."I heard you." Lennon did not move his hand. "I am doing this anyway."They were in the small storage room adjacent to the office, door shut, the overhead light flickering slightly. Roman had put them here while his people swept the building. Lennon had not argued. He had needed somewhere that w
